Survey

The Gay Asian Men’s Survey aim to investigate sexual health and wellbeing of Asian gay men living in Australia and specifically in NSW. The survey is seeking men aged 18 years or above, having had sex with other men in the past five years, currently living in Sydney, and self-identifying as having Asian background.
Currently the survey is recruiting in Sydney.

We encourage Asian gay and bisexual men, homosexually-active men, and/or men having sex with men (MSM) living in Sydney to join our survey.
